"Sequestration, the way it has been characterized, the way it has been implemented, is a pervasive problem."

"The standard that they released yesterday, which they are now going to use, is actually stricter than the standard that I have been proposing."

"I have offered an amendment over the years to try to limit the metadata collection in terms of specific suspicion."

"We thank Senator Durbin for his attention to this issue."
